Permits needed for fishing

The need for an angling permit depends on the type of waterbody and how many rods and lures you will use.

In this permit area, you will need an angling permit when fishing

with more than one rod or lure,
in sections with running water or
in special still waters where general fishing rights do not apply.

You will also be required to pay the fisheries management fee, unless you are under 18 years of age, over 70 years of age, or are 65 years of age or older as of 31 December 2023. The fisheries management fee is not required if you are hook and line fishing or ice fishing with only one rod. If you are hook and line fishing or ice fishing with multiple rods, you are required to purchase an angling permit and pay the fisheries management fee.

You are permitted to lure fish in sections with running water, provided that you purchase an angling permit - paying the fisheries management fee alone is not sufficient. Hook and line fishing and ice fishing are fully prohibited in rapids and running sections of waters with migratory fish stocks (i.e. also this permit area) whether you have an angling permit or not.

You are permitted to lure fish in special waters, provided that you purchase an angling permit - paying the fisheries management fee alone is not sufficient for these waters. In addition, you will always require an angling permit when hook and line fishing and ice fishing in special waters. Special waters are marked on the PDF map of the permit area and as a restricted area in the map window on this page and on Excursionmap.fi.

General fishing rights apply to other still waters included in the permit area. This means that you will only have to pay the fisheries management fee when lure fishing with one rod and lure. When fishing with more than one rod and lure, you will also need to purchase an angling permit. You will not need to purchase an angling permit or pay the fisheries management fee when hook and line fishing and ice fishing with one rod in these still water areas. If you are hook and line fishing or ice fishing with more than one rod, you will need to purchase an angling permit and pay the fisheries management fee.
